DIC latest - the largely wild speculation thread

[Manofthebog]

From the few posts since my last one im getting the feeling that there are still people here who cant accept others might have a different viewpoint, and it troubles me a bit. Look, I want whats best for LFC, and if (big if) that means tom hicks then im ok with that, lifes too short to get hung up on stuff. Looking at all the stuff about promises, corinthians etc. isnt good reading, but im not sure how much of it applies to us.

Everyone on here wants what's best for the club, but if you haven't heard or read what's being spouted through the media, by Hicks, then you're Stevie Wonder with a hearing problem, and I claim my £5.

Hick's is a liar, period.

He's using us as a cash-cow, period.

As most people have mentioned on here, I see DIC as the best option out there, as it means Hicks' will be out of the club.

The fact that Hicks' private placement of his Sports Holding Group failed to attract significant interest first time round (despite its 144A protection) is indicative of how investors feel hes doing in running those other sports entities

The Rangers have the 3rd highest debt ratio, have one of the lowest revenue increases and a moderate operating income

The Stars have again one of the highest debt ratios have one of the smallest growths in revenue but have an average moderating income

To me this doesnt sound like these companies are being successfully run

Superb post, not guesswork, not opinion but FACT.

Just read the Telegraph piece today by David Bond talking about the emails Hicks (or his PR) have been sending.

In another email, Hicks writes: "I have taken huge risks because I believe our club can be the best in the world again.

That scares me

Could almost be a quote from RIDSDALE.

What risks? He hasn't taken a single risk himself so far, not even risked one pound of his own money.

I have invested more money into the club than Hicks, buying merchandise and so on, that is a fact.

Didnt the banks make them contribute 7M pounds to the latest refinancing deal? Crikey AF you must have a shedload of LFC stuff.

He maybe means it in as much as keeping all the plates spinning and putting his other assets up, it won't **** him up if we fold but the fact he knows its risky is a major concern, because even those of us who haven't a clue can see the numbers don't stack up.

He has loaned that money against the club. It was all explained at the time. You can find the articles explaining it if you search after them.

When Moores sold us, our club is going to be a cash cow for the next owner be it Hicks or DIC. However, at least DIC have the capital to back us up without putting too much risk on the club.

That is the difference between the Fat cunt and DIC. Had the cunt be just as rich as Abramovich, I think most fans would STFU. We would probably shake our heads about the Klinsmann affair and we would even put up with his outburst to the media and his lying ways in exchange for his money to build the stadium and team.

But luckily or unluckily for us, he is nowhere near Abramovich level!! Just want him to FO asap and end this whole ****e!!
